Day 21: Well fuck me. This is the same plant that was laying half-dead two weeks ago. She's doubled her height and foliage over the past two days, and her lower branches are starting to stack up nodes. She's still guzzling nutrients and really showing them off at this point. She has the growroom all to herself for the next few weeks, so I'm sure she'll love the attention. Gonna let her grow up a little more before I tie her down rather than changing her LST setup daily, like I did with her now-chopped older sister.
Oh also I did end up FIMing her, and I think it's helped her throw a lot of growth stems. I went at the fifth node rather than the third and I'm not lollipopping her nearly as intensely this time.
Trying to update less on a day-by-day basis as I feel like that enabled me as a helicopter parent... so overall, here's my rundown for the week.
She's been taking full waterings and feedings all week, and responded really well to it. She kicked into preflower on Day 26 and started stretching pretty noticeably. Still not showing a ton of pistils, but her new fan leaves are starting to alternate.
I introduced Open Sesame on Day 27 at the full dose on the FF feed schedule. No issues with nutrients yet--my experience with this strain is that it'll handle fertilizer just like it's a photoperiod. All good so far!
